The Right Real Estate Agent

People don't talk about it a lot, but finding the right real estate agent can be the difference between a happy, stress-free home buying or selling experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience. I got into this business originally to help friends and family who I feel had not always had their best interest at hand when buying, selling or refinancing. It gives me great pleasure to be able to help people with their Real Estate needs and know that they received the best overall protection available.

Through the years I have found great pleasure in helping seniors and first time home buyers. I have set up a program to help seniors understand their options and to ensure they can live life in the fashion they deserve! (THE CHAPMAN SENIOR ADVANTAGE) You can find out more about this by CLICKING ON SELLING YOUR HOME. If you are interested in knowing a ballpark figure for WHAT YOUR HOME IS REALLY WORTH you can click on this link http://valuemap.facorelogic.com/ValueMap.aspx?licenseCode=301c50c763294671be168a6e49f14381 and this will help you get an idea of value. Since every home and it's condition will vary, this is  only a ballpark figure and I can fine tune this with a visual inspection of your home.

GREAT NEWS for many buyer's are the new FHA and VA programs available for  FIRST TIME BUYERS as well as the $10,000.00 CREDIT AVAILABLE for California buyers. A first time buyer is defined as someone who has not had an ownership interest in their primary residence during the previous THREE YEARS. This means you really might qualify even if you have owned a home before! These loans can safely provide up to 100% financing and are government backed to protect the consumer (CLICK ON FIRST TIME BUYER FOR MORE DETAILS). All of these programs are safe and unlike the 100% financing that caused so many problems over the last few years! Read on to see why it is so important to find the right Real Estate Agent!

First, you'll want an agent ready and able to make a fulltime commitment to you. I can and will do that. My goal is to never have more than one listing for any given tract. I believe you cannot fully represent more than one seller in a tract without taking from another. You will start playing one listing verses the other and divide your time between them. Devoting 100% of your time to market several homes will never be better than 100% to one home. I will always do my best to sell my listing before taking another in the same tract.

Second, an agent with the experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, ordinances, etc. With my 30 plus years in this area, I have the expertise and track record of success you need.

Third, you'll want an agent who embraces the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You'll love the resources available on my web site and the email alerts that I send, but these will never replace the time I spend with you, serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.

Let's get together and talk about your home buying, refinancing and/or selling plans. Call me anytime at (714-356-2369) or send me an email CRuss4Homes@aol.com  we'll setup a time that is easy and convenient for you to meet.

P.S. If you're not ready to meet in person, please tour through my web site. I'm sure you'll find the resources here useful and helpful. Enjoy!
